Foreword
In the present era of globalization, human resource development has emerged as a major
aspect of critical importance for the organizations committed to the development of
agriculture. The manpower available with scientific organizations has to be trained and the
knowledge of the scientists should be updated so as to keep pace with the latest developments
in agriculture particularly in the frontier areas of technologies. With this end in view, the
Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and State Agricultural Universities (SAUs) organize
training programmes/courses in most of the disciplines each year. Requests are received
from different parts of the world especially from Asian and African countries for participation
in these programmes.
The training programmes listed in this publication include selected short-term training
courses in specific areas. Apart from several on-going programmes in frontier areas including
Molecular diagnosis of Plant Viruses, FMD-Diagnosis and Serotyping using Molecular tech-
niques, Bt resistance management in insects, crop production and quality, IPM in selected
field crops, integrated watershed management, frozen semen technology and artificial in-
semination, animal tissue culture technology, animal and fish disease diagnosis and manage-
ment, fishing gear design and fabrication, techniques and application of remote sensing and
GIS in agriculture, post-harvest supply chain and quality management of horticultural and
arable crops, hybrid purity assessment using molecular markers in sunflower, safflower and
castor, tropical viticulture, protected cultivation in vegetable and ornamental crops, value
added products technology in banana and plantain, hatchery and culture technology of fresh-
water prawns, project management and capacity building for rural management, several
new programmes like Rural Entrepreneurship Development, Production of Disease Free Planting
Material for Citrus, Fisheries Co-Management for Sustainable Development, Trickle Down
System (TDS) of Aquaculture Extension, Open Source Based e-learning development, Com-
puter based multimedia development, Rain water harvesting & Ground water recycling, Land
scape and Turf Irrigation – Design and Management, Micro-irrigation system, Buffalo meat
processing have also been planned during 2008. For each course, a brief information on the
host institution, course content and duration, faculty and important instructions including
application form is provided in this publication.
I hope that this publication will prove useful to all those willing to develop the human
resource cost-effectively by relevant programmes to suit specific conditions that exist in the
developing countries.

Indian Council of Agricultural Research
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research, has built one of the world’s largest
national agricultural research systems which consists of 48 Central Research
Institutes including 5 multi-disciplinary National Institutes with deemed-to-be
University Status, 5 National Bureaux, 32 National Research Centres, 12 Project
Directorates, 62 All India Co-ordinated Research Projects and a large network of
multi-disciplinary projects. In addition, ICAR has helped in establishing 39 State
Agricultural Universities based on the land grant pattern of education in the
United States of America, and 1 Central Agricultural University and 4 Central
Universities. The major effort of the ICAR is directed towards human resource
development besides planning, coordinating and undertaking research in various
disciplines of agricultural sciences.
The ICAR organizes international training programmes for developing
trained human resource to take up research, education and extension activities
in emerging areas of agricultural sciences. These training courses are organized
in various ICAR Institutes and the State Agricultural Universities. This brochure
provides information on various international training programmes.
The persons interested in attending any of these courses may apply for
admission to the course, by sending his/her application in the proforma provided
at the end of this brochure. A copy of the application should also be sent directly
to the contact person identified for each course. Further details of the course
may be obtained from the contact person or Director or Dean of the institute or
university, where the course will be offered.
